Preamp Deal of the Century

If anyone is looking for a true "World Class" preamp at a very fair price..heed my advice. I just recieved a Supratek Syrah preamp that was hand built by Mick Maloney in Western Australia, and it is absolutely beautiful! This preamp is the best deal you will ever find. I would put it up against any preamp out there for both looks and sound. Price? $2500 for the Syrah (includes Killer Phono stage). Not into phono? Try the Chardonney line stage for $2100. Don't get me wrong, I am not associated with this company. I am just a very happy owner! This preamp is VERY dynamic, yet liquid. It conveys the sound of music better than any other preamp that I have ever heard! You can check out the Supratek website at www. cantech.net.au

Grounding Hum!! Never had it, never heard it.
If you had it or heard it, something wasn't right in your system.

Can you please tell me your set up? What SUT are you using? Cartridge? Phono pre? What is your total gain from phono preamp to linestage? What loading? What table? Just curious, maybe I can copy it.

Oh sorry, you have the Chardonnay. Well, so much so for discussing the phono section of the Supratek being a steal at <$500 then........

Has your Christmas present from Australia arrived yet, or is it in customs "hell".
